Body issuance of Aadhaar also explore the possibilities for the use of blockchain and quantum computing, as it goes forward towards the vision of ‘Aadhaar 2.0’.
“We are also open to see what is called a partial authentication.
Some people might just want to verify the age, they do not see anything more than that.” It is also things we want to get feedback from the industry ..

“someone just want to verify whether that person is living in that area and they do not want to address, but they just want to confirm whether the person is a resident that area …
this is the kind of service, in which we have yet to develop a solution but it will be open to see, “said Garg.

Speaking of Aadhaar 2.0, he said it would ensure automated biometric matching solution that is faster, with a primary focus on the security of the ecosystem.
He said authorities were exploring the possibility of utilizing blockchain and quantum computing.
“We see what is offered blockchain, and whether blockchain can be used in any way to create a decentralized level solutions …
for something in the future but in our horizon.” In quantum computing, we need to see if there’s a security solution quantum tough, “he said.
Aspects related to safety is” Paramount “, he said adding that Uidai work constantly on improving information security and cyber security.
